42Crunch Allows Organizations to Extend Comprehensive API Security Beyond the Edge, to Each and Every Container in Kubernetes Environments<\/strong><\/p>\n

SINGAPORE, JULY 16, 2019<\/strong> \u2014 Today at RSA Asia Pacific & Japan 2019, API security leader and creator of the industry\u2019s first API Firewall \u2013 42Crunch<\/a> \u2013 announced the latest release of its API security platform with full support for Kubernetes environments. This new solution allows organizations to easily automate API security across Kubernetes environments \u2013 enabling the zero-trust architecture needed to protect each microservice and scale without risk.<\/p>\n

The rapid adoption of microservices architectures and Kubernetes lead to the proliferation of APIs exposed by these microservices. Developers employ agile practices to quickly iterate on these microservices. Combined, these trends lead to hundreds if not thousands of rapidly changing APIs that modern enterprises often host and need to secure.<\/p>\n

Traditional solutions such as Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and API Management tools rely on static rules and policies, and edge protection. While these solutions provide some security functionality within your environment, they still leave the individual microservices vulnerable to API attacks.<\/p>\n

Through a fully automated platform, 42Crunch extends security beyond the edge of the enterprise to each individual microservice, protecting them with an ultra-low latency micro API firewall that can be deployed at scale. 42Crunch API firewall is merely 20 MB in size and when deployed in sidecar proxy mode in Kubernetes pods enforces API security with sub-millisecond overhead. This eliminates the manual process of writing and maintaining individual API security policies, and enforces a zero-trust security architecture.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the initial launch of the 42Crunch API Security platform our customers have informed us that edge protection is no longer enough,\u201d says Jacques Declas, CEO and founder of 42Crunch. \u201cWe are excited to make our Kubernetes-native API protection commercially available. Now the teams working on large numbers of microservices can be sure that each and every one of them automatically stays secure throughout its lifecycle.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, 42Crunch\u2019s unique approach integrates<\/a> with companies\u2019 DevSecOps pipeline and delivers automated API security across the whole API lifecycle:<\/p>\n
